climate control LINCOLN CORSAIR 2023 Owner's Manual

Why does my engine stay on when it isextremely cold outside?
In order to make sure that the climatecontrol system can begin heating thecabin or defrosting the windshield assoon as a driver requests it, the enginecoolant temperature has to be keptsufficiently hot. Keeping the engine onis required to maintain the correctcoolant temperature.
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
INFORMATION
WHAT IS A PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRICVEHICLE
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle combines agasoline engine with an electric motor andrechargeable high voltage battery allowingyou to use only electricity to power yourvehicle.
HOW DOES A PLUG-IN HYBRIDELECTRIC VEHICLE WORK
Charging your vehicle adds electrical energythat propels the vehicle, providing extendedelectric-only driving range. System conditionscould require the engine to operate whileelectric-only range is still available. When theelectric range reaches zero, the powertrainsystem operates as a hybrid electric vehicle.See How Does a Hybrid Electric VehicleWork (page 213).
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLEDRIVING CHARACTERISTICS
Your plug-in hybrid vehicle shares the drivingcharacteristics of hybrid electric vehicles withthe addition of extended electric- only drivingrange and unique selectable drive modes.See Hybrid Electric Vehicle DrivingCharacteristics (page 213).
The system maximizes the use ofelectric-only operation in normal drive mode.System conditions could require the engineto operate, however, the system uses theavailable electric range whenever possible.
In Pure EV drive mode, your vehicle typicallyuses only electric power. The engineoperates to provide extra power when youfully press the accelerator pedal. Systemconditions may also require the engine tooperate.
Preserve EV drive mode saves the electricrange for later use. If you select this modeand the battery is at full or near full charge,it uses some electric-only range to dischargethe battery. This allows the regenerativebraking system to fully operate. If batterycharge is low when this mode is selected theengine charges the high voltage battery toprovide some electric range for later.
Other drive modes use electric power asnecessary to deliver the selected drive modeexperience. See What Is Drive ModeControl (page 338).
PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLEINDICATORS
When you start your vehicle, agreen ready indicator light appearsin the instrument cluster letting youknow that your vehicle is ready for driving.

2023 Corsair (CTF) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202208, DOMHybrid Electric Vehicle Information - Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)E293827

The engine may not start because yourvehicle has a silent key start feature. Thisfuel saving feature allows your vehicle to beready to drive without requiring the gasengine to be running.
The indicator remains on when your vehicleis on, whether the engine is running or not,to indicate your vehicle is capable ofmovement using the electric motor, gasengine or both.
Typically, the engine does not start unlessthe vehicle is cold, a climate control changeis requested or you press the acceleratorpedal.
WHAT IS LOW ENGINE USE MODE
Low engine use mode maintains properengine lubrication at sufficient temperatureand activates when you drive your vehiclewith limited engine operation.
HOW DOES LOW ENGINE USE MODEWORK
When in low engine use mode, your vehicleruns the engine as necessary. When lowengine use mode begins, a message appearsin the information display. If low engine usemode does not complete before you switchyour vehicle off, it continues the next timeyou start your vehicle and the messagereappears.
Note:Pure EV now mode is not availablewhen in low engine use mode.
Note:Cold temperatures affect the enginewarm up time and the low engine use modemay operate more frequently.
Note:An oil change is not required but givesyou the option of not running a low engineuse cycle. Resetting the oil life monitoringsystem suspends the low engine use mode.

EXCITE
For sporty on-road driving. This modeincreases throttle response, provides asportier exhaust sound and steering feel,along with quicker shifting. The suspensioncould stiffen, with an emphasis on handlingand control. The transmission also holdsgears longer, helping your vehicle acceleratefaster when shifting gears.
Note:Sportier exhaust sound may not beavailable depending on vehicleconfiguration.
NORMAL
For everyday driving. This mode is a perfectbalance of excitement, comfort andconvenience. This is the default mode aftereach ignition cycle.
PRESERVE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRIDELECTRIC VEHICLE (PHEV)
Your vehicle runs the engine as needed tosave electric driving range for later use inanother drive mode. For example, you firstdrive at high speeds on open roads whereengine operation is appropriate. Later, youdrive at low speeds in an urban area whereelectric only is most efficient.
If the battery charge is low when you selectthis mode, the engine begins to charge thehigh voltage battery to provide some electricrange for later.
PURE EV - PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRICVEHICLE (PHEV)
This mode can provide an electric onlydriving experience. Your vehicle couldaccelerate slower, and the top speed couldbe reduced. For more power, fully press theaccelerator pedal to temporarily engage theengine.
Your vehicle could enable the engine ifsystem conditions require it. An engineenabled message displays if this occurs.
The engine could enable if the climatecontrol is in a defrost mode and the outsidetemperature is cold. If the vehicle does notneed defrost, select a different climatecontrol mode to permit pure EV.
Your vehicle changes from pure EV mode tonormal mode when the vehicle electric rangeis zero.
Note:When in pure EV mode, your vehiclestays in this mode if there is all electricdriving range available and the system doesnot fault.
SLIPPERY
For less than ideal road conditions, such assnow or ice covered roads. Slippery modeinspires confidence without taking away fromdriving pleasure. Slippery mode lowersthrottle response and optimizes shifting forslippery surfaces.
Note:Using slippery mode on dry hardsurfaces could produce some vibration,driveline bind up, and potential excessivetire wear as the intent of this mode is forslippery and loose surfaces.

WARNING: This vehicle may havemore than one battery. Removing thebattery cables from only one battery doesnot disconnect your vehicle electricalsystem. Make sure you disconnect thebattery cables from all batteries whendisconnecting power. Failure to do so maycause serious personal injury or propertydamage.
WARNING: For vehicles withAuto-Start-Stop the battery requirement isdifferent. You must replace the battery withone of exactly the same specification.
WHAT IS THE BATTERYMANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The battery management system monitorsbattery conditions and takes actions toextend battery life.
HOW DOES THE BATTERYMANAGEMENT SYSTEM WORK
If excessive battery drain is detected, thesystem temporarily disables some electricalsystems to protect the battery.
Systems included are:
•Heated rear window.
•Heated seats.
•Climate control.
•Heated steering wheel.
•Audio unit.
•Navigation system.
A message could appear in the informationdisplay to alert you that battery protectionactions are active. This message is only fornotification that an action is taking place, andnot intended to indicate an electrical problemor that the battery requires replacement.
BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMLIMITATIONS
After battery replacement, or in some casesafter charging the battery with an externalcharger, the battery management systemrequires eight hours of vehicle sleep time torelearn the battery state of charge. Duringthis time, your vehicle must remain fullylocked with the ignition switched off.
Note:Prior to relearning the battery state ofcharge, the battery management systemcould temporarily disable some electricalsystems.
Electrical Accessory Installation
To make sure the battery managementsystem works correctly, do not connect anelectrical device ground connection directlyto the battery negative post. This can causeinaccurate measurements of the batterycondition and potential incorrect systemoperation.
